Stadtturm

The 68m high, eight-storey tower in the middle of the new town, which was founded in 1218, served as a watchtower against fire and enemies, as a bell tower and a clock tower. As the first town hall tower, it was and is a symbol of Straubing's citizenship and a landmark of the city. It was begun in 1316 and only completed at the end of the 16th century with its characteristic five spires.
An impressively sculpted late Gothic portal leads into the interior.
